(5 from 35 votes)Whoa! Waaaaay too tangy for me. My husband didn't care for it either. Added garlic, maple syrup, water, and more basil. Won't make this again.
This dressing is absolutely amazing
Best no-fat dressing I have ever had.
Love this. Definitely will make it often.
A great fresh salad dressing without all the oil. I use a ‘Good Seasons’ shaker bottle with the following portions to fill it up: 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup Franzia Chillable Red Wine 1/4 cup Dijon or Whole Grain Old Style Maille mustard 1/4 cup nutritional yeast 1 tablespoon dried basil (or other dried herbs) 2 cloves of minced garlic sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
top-notch
Just made this and it's delicious and so easy!! No reason to buy bottled dressing when I can make my own!
What is nutritional yeast
It's a flaky yellow additive that can be found at most grocery stores. It's got great flavor. Just ask your grocery store clerk where to find it. I add it to soups and mashed potatoes too.
So easy to make and taste great!!!!!
Just great!
Wow this is so simple but so good. Better than any bottled dressing.
Simple and delicious!
This dressing is so easy to prepare and tastes so good! Highly recommended!
This is great! So easy and tasty.
Love this! Great on Brussels sprouts! Well done.
Easy and yummy
I have never found a dressing I liked without oil until NOW. This is definitely the best dressing EVER. Thank you so much. I need to make a large jar of it. So flavorful. I don't think anything needs to be added.

Delicious!!! I loved it!!! Easy to make and I can double the recipe for large groups!
Delicious! I used jalapeño balsamic vinegar for a zesty quick, and it was divine.
Love this!
Huge fan of this! You do not miss the oil at all!
This is my new go to!
I use all kinds of balsamic to make this. I’ve made it Asian using a mixture of rice vinegar and white balsamic, spicy mustard and Thai spices. It tastes good using curry, too. It tastes great with any veggies. Yum.
This is my favorite dressing! I have had a hard time liking no-oil dressing but not anymore!
Easy. Quick. Readily available ingredients. Upscalable. Perfect.
I make this every time I make a salad for lunch. I omitted the water! It’s just so delicious and easy to make.
Doesn't seem like much dressing
The dijon mustard really gives this a kick! A good dressing for boring salads.
I use tablespoons!
I make this weekly, adding in garlic and onion powder. Yummy!
Wish you gave nutrition info.love this
It's simple to type the ingredients into any free recipe app (like my fitness pal) and it will calculate the nutrition info for you.
This is my go-to dressing. Great sauce for other bites too.
This could make a really great spring roll dip! Also perfect for your weekly meal prepping.
This is the first recipe that had me realize how unnecessary oil was. Shocked by how many calories are saved by keeping this limited to vinegar and mustard.
So tasty! I make a batch for the whole week and add to everything!
Love this on my salads
If I made extra, how long would it last in the refrigerator?
It would last a really long time. Vinegar nor mustard are things that don't spoil quickly.
